dynamically visible section: How to? Does it work in Netscape 4.7?

I am creating a survey with a question if answered YES, you skip the next
few questions. I need it to only show the next few quesitons IF they anders
NO. Otherwise hide the questions.

I am a novice with Javascript but a decent programmer so I can figure it out
if you give me some direction or ideas.

Many thanks.

Excuse me, I didn't properly read the subject. This will only work in
Netscape 6+.

I have forgotten how this works in Netscape 4, so I must leave this question
open to others.

The most common, most reliable, and simplest way to do this is to
ask only one question (or a small number) per screen, and let the
server decide which question(s) to display next.

If it's a serious survey, you don't want to limit your population
to only those who have JavaScript enabled, anyway.

You can't do it in Netscape 4. You can make the questions hidden, but they
will still take up space on the page. Netscape 4 doesn't reflow the content,
so there is no way around that.

I would have recommended just disabeling the questions, but it doesn't seem
like Nescape 4 understands "elem.disabled = true" either.
I don't know if there is anything smart to do.

When you say netcsape 4 , do you mean 4.7? v 4.7 is the one in concern.
Thanks.

I actually mean 4.80, which is the one I have installed. If it doesn't
support something, it's a fair bet that 4.7 won't either.
